I can't help you with small mouth. I don't fish them But I do know some of the guys I work with had rather fish pickwick for smallies. I would definitely love to help you and would love to meet you. I follow you on the Tennessee forum and I really appreciate your post. Your thread on single pole help shaped the way I fish. Gonna send you a PM with my cell.
